The problem uses the perimeter formula.  P = 2w + 2l   where w is the width, and l is the length.

We know the length (l) is 3 inches longer than it's width (or l = w+3).  Substitute w +3 into Perimeter equation

P = 2w + 2(w+3).  That simplifies to P = 4w + 6.

Since P + 42,   we have 42 = 4w +6.  With some simple algebra we find that w = 9 and l = 12.

Hope this helps!

Write the quadratic equation in general form and then choose the value of "b."
Ira Lisetskai [31]
First of all to transfer <span>(2x - 1)(x + 6) = 0 into a form where we can plug it into the quadratic formula we need to use the FOIL method.

</span><span>(2x - 1)(x + 6) = 0
</span> becomes
2x*x+2x*6+-1*x+-1*6
which simplifies to
2x^2 + 12x - x - 6
and then we add like terms to get
2x^2 + 11x - <span>6
</span>
now that it is in the correct form we can identify "a" "b" and "c" by following this form
ax^2 + bx + c
looking back at the equation we got earlier
2x^2 + 11x - <span>6</span>

a=2,b=11,and c=-6
